Julie and kris on reception were very chatty and pleasant and helped with all our enquiries, breakfast was wonderful and we will be recommending you to our friends and family and we will return.

The breakfast was outstanding all you could possibly want the choice of cold things was extensive and the cook to order was delicious.All the food was of great quality.

The majority of staff were extremely friendly, particularly at breakfast which was freshly cooked backed up by fruit, cereal and toast.

Breakfast was excellent both for choice and quality.

Breakfast is excellent with a combination of buffet and hot meal.

The breakfast was included in our room rate and was simply delicious, especially the eggs benedict!

The highlights were the swimming pool and the food - breakfast at the Manor Hotel and Dinner at Luccombe Hall.

The breakfast is very good, quality food stuffs used so very tasty and excellent cooked and served.

that we had.. kind friendly and welcoming.. its been a pleasure to stay in such a nice setting Breakfast choice and quality A1.

Excellent family stay, great facilities and lovely breakfast buffet.

The facilities are great and it was fab for the dog too, I particularly like that you can leave the dog for a short time in the room while you are in the building  (eg while you have breakfast).

Maisie is already missing the sausage that was prepared specially for her at breakfast each morning.

Great friendly staff, delicious breakfast.

At breakfast you had a wide range out Choice which would suit everyone.

Excellent hotel,fantastic location and facilities,even had a hot tub!,breakfast was excellent and the quality was second to none,very attentive Staff couldn’t do enough for you,We are definitely looking forward to going back at some stage.

A wonderful choice for breakfast   A very enjoyable staff would definitely return.

Breakfast was very generous buffet & choice of fry up including vegetarian option with Quorn sausages, you get access to the indoor pool in the neighbouring Luccombe Hall.

Staff were friendly with nothing too much trouble, hotel spotless and a great breakfast choice.

The food was great too (we had dinner and breakfast).

Free doggy towels at the entrance, a free sausage at breakfast, a gated garden with park close by and even bowls in the room for their food.

The outlook overlooking the gardens and pool and beyond to Shanklin beach and headland is superb.

Facilities are very good, we made most use of the pools, gardens, pool/ games lounge and bar.

The gardens and views were amazing, the pool was also very nice

Loved the gardens and the view plenty of places to sit and chill.. guest lounge is lovely.

The pool was in lovely gardens and we enjoyed the hot tub too.

Already booked for 2023, hoping the tea gardens can return.

The room had two windows, one looking out to the fire escape and the other to a neighbouring rear garden which was elevated.

The facilities at the hotel are quite fabulous, lovely green gardens and amazing pool and hot tub.

Location stunning, on the cliff with views over the gardens and sea and just a 5 minute stroll into Shanklin!

It was great to find a dog friendly hotel and she especially enjoyed the doggy sausage each morning for breakfast 😊 the location was great with a large public garden directly opposite.

but sister hotel you can venture to at the rear has an indoor pool you can use and there is a lovely tea garden also on site.

the gardens are beautiful and the views over the ocean are stunning.

We knew that our evening meal was at the sister Hotel, only a short walk away through the gardens.

Lovey old town Shanklin location with sea views from garden, breakfast conservatory room and some rooms.

I really can’t fault this hotel except that the dinner menu at the sister hotel could be improved, even if prices were raised, and the availability of snacks for lunch would be welcome given that some guests no doubt like to stay in the garden most of the day to make the most of the excellent pool and jacuzzi facilities.

The gardens and pool area has more than sufficient sun beds.

The hotel has a well designed swimming pool with fountain feature and 'bubble pool' adjoining, plus a hot tub surrounded by well-kept gardens with views out to sea.

Gardens are nice and well kept with views out to sea.

It was incredibly important for us to take our dogs with us and this hotel is very dog friendly.

Enjoyed the outdoor pool, jacuzzi and hot tub   Easy dog walking in adjacent park and our dogs were made very welcome.

We visited with our 9 year old son, 1 year old dog and the grandparents!!

This is such a great hotel, friendly staff, nice sized rooms, lovely food, really clean, great facilities, dog friendly.

Breakfast in the doggie dining room was delicious and plentiful, and our dog especially loved his sausage every day !

Food and water bowls were provided for our dog, Annie and towels at the entrance of the hotel for muddy paws.

We had our dog with us and he was made very welcome too.

Everyone made an effort to ‘fuss’ over our dog Boy and remembered Boy.

Whilst it is a dog friendly hotel and there were many dogs staying there you really wouldn't know.

It is a great stay if you are travelling with a dog.

The staff were superb as was the breakfast and they made us and our dog holly, very welcome.

Amazing stay staff so friendly and go that extra mile so dog friendly infact it's the most dog friendly hotel I've been the rooms were lovely and the bed was super comfy breakfast amazing beautiful views well worth a visit

As we now have a dog, finding a good dog- friendly hotel was a primary consideration.

What made it even more special was the way our dog was as welcome as we were and allowed to eat with us.

We took our dog and could not have asked for a better location.

Very nice hotel .far better than its 3star rating.very dog friendly with excellent facilities for any dog staying at the hotel.very good variety of breakfast options and very comfortable bed .would recommend this hotel for any stay on the Isle of Wight.

Dog friendly, including sausage for breakfast.

The dog was made very welcome, doggy towels available and even his own sausage for breakfast.

An indoor pool was also available in Luccombe Hall next door if the weather was poor (which it wasn'tduring our stay).

Also their covid precautions were very poor, unlike this hotel where we felt very safe.

Only small downside was poor noise insulation between our sea view room & the adjoining bedroom.. Would definately stay again.

but because i wasn't sure the kitchen was interested,third night poor,fourth night fantastic.First morning poached eggs brilliant,next three mornings eggs like rubber balls
The swimming pool is quite small and there are not enough sunbeds & shades when the hotel is busy.The steps down to the beach are very steep and the beach is a bit scrubby.

We used the outdoor swimming pool and hot tub which was fab and we could have used the indoor poor and sauna in the sister hotel next door

but I think it would have been pleasant enough to spend some time in the hotel if the weather was poor.

although Sandown & Ventnor were a massive disappointment with very poor shopping experience.

The stays were within a couple of weeks of one another actually in the same room (12) and we really noticed the poor cleanliness this time (see photos) Stains in drawers, tea / coffe stains on the wall, chipped bath and the shower hose was leaking.

Let me start with the only negatives we found: the parking is a little poor for the amount that can stay at this venue. Be prepared to park on the road outside (no charge though!)

(To give the staff credit, some was acquired - they do their best)
*  Wifi signal very poor and once connected, often couldn't do anything (we couldn't get a mobile phone signal in the area so really relied on wifi).

The turbidity was very poor and visually you could not define tiles at the bottom or to any depth along the sides.

Having just returned from a short break on the Isle of Wight and even the poor weather could not spoil out trip!

For a good quality hotel, the rooms poor quality really let it down.

Room decor was very  poor quality for star rating and bathroom was poor in quality of cleanliness .

I would think that both our starters were bought in & tasted like it - poor.

Having read the previous trip advisor reviews regarding the food, I was a little apprehensive, i have to say i agree the evening meal could have been better, I'm afraid to say the cooked breakfast was very disappointing, the quantity is small, and the quality ie the sausages and hash browns is very poor.

For me it is the little things that make the difference: alarm clock not plugged in as no free socket (buy an extension, £2 from Tesco), toiletries were cheap and harsh, 2 piece metallic toast racks that fell apart, poor quality bread.

This was particularly true of breakfast where choice was limited and the bread in particular was poor.

Shanklin Chine and old town a few minutes walk from the hotel.

As you drive through the leafy winding road you find this hotel nestled amongst the trees at the very end of the road near Shanklin Chine .

but there is a hint - buy a ticket to nearby Shanklin chine and it's valid for 7days return, offering the closest beach access and a nature attraction.

Location is excellent ,only a short 5 minute walk to the old town , broken halfway by the entrance to the Shanklin Chine.

superb decor of common rooms and excellent quality of staff,and breakfast     Location was excellent for access to Shanklin Old Village and access to the beach and Promenade through Shanklin Chine and gardens

Shanklin’s pleasant little old town is easily walkable from the hotel as is the famous Shanklin Chine - this is a beautiful gorge leading to the sea

The hotel is situated right by Shanklin Chine and a short walk to the village.

Handy for Shanklin Chine and Rylstone Park.

The Shanklin Chine is a very short walk away and the beach is just down some steps.

The position of the hotel is perfect for Shanklin Chine, the beach and Shanklin village.

The hotel is in a fantastic location,very quite and on top of the cliff next door to the beautiful Shanklin Chine 
You can walk  down the150 steps or if your knees can’t do the steps,amble along the cliff top pathway  to the beach.

but a lady on reception who offered and gave us a short tour of the hotel and telling us how to get to the Shanklin chine which we didn’t realise we were so close too.

Very friendly staff and knowledgeable of area (Thanks Clare)  Upgraded room to have a Seaview (Well worth doing) Hotel is situated minutes from the sea, Shanklin Chine and High Street.

with amusement park and crazy golf for the whole family.. shanklin chine is also near.

The hotel is in a good location, opposite Rhllstone Gardens and a couple of minutes away from The Shanklin Chine.

Only dislike we're the thin walls between rooms.

My only criticism is the walls between rooms was paper thin and we could hear everything going on either side!

The room was average, ripped curtain, thin walls so you could hear neighbours next door and the constant walking around at all hours from guests above.

Taken off one star because walls were very thin & unfortunately our neighbours & their dogs were very loud!

The room walls are a little thin in this wing and at times we cold hear the kids in the adjacent room.

Room was on the small side, with the walls and bedside tables restricting movement around the bed.

and the picture was not good, this certainly needs to be upgraded, it looked quite odd a tiny TV not much bigger than a computer monitor on the wall!

but not serious and the hotel cant change is that the room we was in had thin walls and could here next doors tv 7am in the morning but they left the next day so was not a problem.

As the walls are quite thin, there was also a lot noise transmitted from adjacent rooms.

Upon entering the room we were met with dirty walls and a blind in the bathroom which was freyed and didn't meet the width of the window this room is in serious need of a refurbishment, not all bad I hasten to add bed very clean and all sheets

The tv on the wall couldn't be smaller!!!

There are two welcomed windows in our Room 23 to let light and air in BUT in the evening and through the night there are unwelcome lights that beam through into the room from the outside wall just above the Windows which kept us awake for some time. .

although TV is small and walls are not soundproof.

The wall mounted tv was so small that my wife, who is hard f hearing, couldn't read the subtitles.

The bathroom was quite outdated and the walls were quite dirty.

In summary:

- Bed is so soft, extremely uncomfortable mattress - really bad for backs 
- Good luck trying to sleep with paper thin walls - hear babies screaming and dogs barking all night long
- Although the continental/packaged cereal breakfast is good, avoid anything cooked from the kitchen as it really upset both our stomachs
- Not a clean hotel!

That wasn’t spoiled by paper-thin walls and neighbours watching deafening television late at night.

but was obliged to watch Netflix on my ipad with earphones because the neighbours were very disturbed by room TV which wasn’t loud but we shared all our sounds because the walls were so thin.

but totally unsuitable for anyone obese, as the gap between the bed & the walls is 9 & 12 inches on each side!

There was a varied choice of food on offer for breakfast and dinner.

but breakfast (which was included in the price) had an abundant choice to suit most diets and our room/balcony was wonderful with view over the swimming pool and the sea.

The staff were lovely, especially the manager and we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast.

Lovely breakfasts with a conservatory area which gives a gorgeous view over a well kept garden and the sea.

I’m assuming that the fresh baked croissant options were added to the menu so you could save throwing away the ones used on the buffet the day before??

Fourthly and, for my father in law, most importantly, the food is delicious!

Fruits, yoghurts and cooked breakfast kept everyone satisfied.

Decent food choice for breakfast and evening meal.

We thought the breakfasts in the hotel were particularly good (poached eggs served perfectly every day of our week long stay).

We loved both the indoor and outdoor pools/hot tubs  and the breakfast has filled us up for the rest of the day!

We all enjoyed the food, breakfast and evening meals choices are very good.

The breakfast was great and the dinners were well worth the money.

Breakfast was very good with lots of choices from English breakfast to continental one.

Breakfast was OK, provided you avoided the mushrooms.

We ate dinner in the hotel 4 out of the 6 nights and the food was of a very high standard and delicious.

There is a good selection for breakfast and evening meals.

This makes no sense
It felt like a form of blackmail - no signature, no room
Staff were very accommodating and polite, communal and private areas were very clean,  gardens exceptional, views amazing, food was average (but could have been served hotter), decoration crisp and well maintained,

Our room was nicely decorated with a lovely balcony overlooking gardens and the sea.

The bar area had all new chairs and and sofas , a new bandstand for when musicians can play in the stunning gardens - this place seems to be striving year on year to go that extra mile and I can’t wait to see what next year brings.

The gardens were immaculate & very pretty.

The kids cabin style bunkeds kept them happy and the ability to walk straight out into the gardens and to the outdoor pool was perfect.

Musicians entertain guests every evening during the summer months, either in the lounge or gardens (where a new gazebo has been added).

Lovely gardens on the grounds and pools/sitting areas to enjoy the vistas.

We stayed in 29 garden Room with hot tub and it was so clean and modern.

Loved it 
They've Upgraded the swimming pool area, garden being upgraded aswell.

Stayed in a Garden room with Hot Tub  overlooking the pool which was superb.

The rest of our family stayed in one of the lovely garden rooms.We had a great time, the weather was particularly kind to us which enabled us to have daily dips in the outdoor pool.

The room was perfect with a balcony and great view of the gardens and the sea.

Great hotel with lovely garden, two heated outdoor pools, great views over the sea from the restaurant.

Our rooms ranged from a single to the family garden with hot tub and everyone said the room were clean and met their needs.

The sister hotels outdoor pool was about 1 minute walk through the well kept gardens   Even

You will not be disappointed as you walk to the dining room and wander round the gardens at Luccommbe Hall the view is stunning and it's tranquil and quiet.

We booked a room with a garden and hot tub which was brilliant.

We had a superior balcony room over looking the Beautiful gardens and a sea view.

Thank you all so much for another fabulous family holiday where you helped make some brilliant memories for each of us.

We had booked a half board holiday, if we stay again I’d go for room only.

This was our first visit to the Isle of Wight and our first UK holiday undertaken entirely by public transport.

Luccombe Hall Hotel is a great place for a family break.

I will always recommend to friends and family so if you are looking for a family holiday or just visiting the island for a night.

We have just returned for a mini break at Luccombe Hall.

Couple stayed in Room 3 for long weekend holiday, and the room was great with an excellent balcony to relax and enjoy the sea views.

We loved the hotel so much that we are booking to return at the end of the summer holidays in a few weeks.

Excellent holiday, great service,  great food.

Food was excellent - perfect relaxing break for my wife and I.

We will definitely return for another stay thank you for a lovely holiday.

Our break coincided with our elder son and his wife’s wedding anniversary and we had asked for flowers and champagne in their room on arrival.That was easily arranged and how lovely to find an extra bottle of fizz in the room from the Luccombe Team!

Given a vey warm welcome from the moment we arrived with our little Great Granddaughter for a four day break away and would definitely recommend Luccombe Hall .

Would recommend to anyone looking for a well placed hotel on the island which has all you need for a relaxed and comfortable holiday.

Staff were all friendly and welcoming and the location was ideal, making an ideal holiday in the charming Isle of Wight.

We had a four night break at Luccombe Hall with our grandchildren aged 7 and 9 over the Jubilee bank holiday.

Spent a few days over the platinum jubilee holiday and had a fantastic trip.

Plenty of lounges for sunbathing and reading too, not to mention the toddler pool and hot tub.

The ground floor room with hottub was great fun for everyone.

The hotel is perfectly equipped for families with a games room, indoor/outdoor pools and hot tubs which the kids loved.

Pools were good, especially outdoor pool with hot tub with lots of sun loungers in a sun trap.

The outdoor heated pool and hot tub were fab, we spent quite  a bit if time in there.

We had booked a hot tub room , very comfortable, spacious and clean which gave us easy access to the  lovely swimming pool and sun deck with wonderful views , plenty of sun loungers and towels provided

The hotel is outstanding, the staff can not do enough for you and the hotel offers a wide range of facilities from sauna to indoor and outdoor swimming pools and hot tub.

We had a hot tub room at Luccumbe Hall Hotel on a half board basis.

Staff are nice, beautiful grounds, comfortable bed,  great to have the indoor swimming pool, hot tub and sauna.

was a surprise birthday visit and stayed in the garden room with hot tub as part of the surprise.

Also, we booked garden room with own hot tub - again, not disappointed.

We had a lovely sea view room with balcony, the rest of the family had a ground floor with hot tub.

This hotel is amazing to say the least, in a nice quiet area, 2 car parks, lovely pools and hot tubs.

The swimming pool and hot tub were also clean, tidy and a good size so that it could be enjoyed by many.

The room was excellent and hot tub a fantastic addition.

but the furniture in communal areas is at a complete clash with the building, resulting in an "awkward" feeling for the guest who wants to relax in a comfy surrounding
In all honesty the bar tables and chairs look as if they were bought as a job lot from a bankruptcy sale and do not suit the building and/or decor
Indoor pool very good, but the showers were poor, lockers wouldn't lock and the changing rooms were not heated 
Would we return ? No.

However, our meal for 9 people on the Saturday night was very poor.

I should also add that wifi connection was very poor - it is nothing I consider as a major factor,

The beach access appears to be in a poor state of repair and looked as

The only downside is that the shower was a very poor flow and I would have expected a better shower facility.

The waiting staff were of various standards, one poor woman ended up with her dinner in her lap care of a waiter who was a little over ambitious.

Only down side was poor insulation so you could hear noise from room above.

However the situation was not helped by those guests who pull in and get out without looking and checking as to how they have parked and whether they have in effect taken up 2 spaces by 
their poor positioning!

There wasn't too much noise from the kitchen, apart from one outburst of poor language on the first night.

a few poor points:-

no day time bar snacks available,

The Isle of Wight seems mostly closed from Nov-March and Shanklin is currently a very poor looking little town indeed.

but which without the friendly staff  would have been poor.

Now the bits that we feel need addressing if they are charging £200 a night, to US the general up keep is poor, silly little fixes and paint jobs that need doing to keep it looking tidy,
The carpet as you go through the dining hall is dirty and shows badly with lights on in the high traffic areas and around the breakfast bar.

Food was very poor, overcooked and lacking in flavour.

The need to focus on the poor feedback and not just keep making excuses

The weather was poor the next day and I used the indoor pool.

No mention of it whilst booking by telephone or in our email confirmation 
The form made no mention of vaping, smelly dogs, outrageous perfumes, or, bad hygiene.

Followed by  miserable stair case, which felt like going to the basement in a car park with a musty smell.

The room felt very oppressive and was noisy and smelly from the kitchen.

Negatives-Noisy fridge kept waking me up, en-sweet toilet area wasn’t clean & smelt horrible.

To conclude the downside – their web page notes ‘Wake up slow ….listen to the sounds of the sea and early morning birdsong.’ We awoke to the smell and noise of the kitchens below!

however we had to close the windows several times due to a cigarette smoke (and the hotel allegedly applies no-smoking policy).
